Eldest has spent the weekend in ecstasy thanks to these two beauties. The field at the front of our cottage used to be home to a pony who was taking its annual leave from towing holiday makers in a romany caravan. My daughter and the pony became firm friends, and often indulged in long conversations over our gate and an apple or two. When pony moved on, eldest missed him terribly. The pining was almost worth it, because now one has been replaced by two!! Mother and foal have arrived for a sojourn, and my daughter is in seventh heaven.
This photograph was taken by her, whilst practically dangling from her toenails out of the upstairs window (not literally) trying to get as close as she possibly could. This is the best of many, many shots of two quite far away ponies...
